Kevin Condardo, Managing Director at The Second City New York adds “We are thrilled to welcome such great talent to perform at The Second City New York. We look forward to the New York Comedy Festival cementing TSCNY as the place to see not only the sketch and improv that The Second City is known for but also a wide range of world-class comedy offerings.”

In addition, due to the incredible response from New York audiences, the current Mainstage Revue production of Ruthless Acts of Kindness has been extended through Saturday, November 16th. The added performances provide fans a few more opportunities to catch this immersive production featuring sketch and improv scenes diving into the absurdities of everyday life with a special nod to New York City's quirks and characters. From barbershop quartets and subway encounters to singing grandfather clocks, the show captures the humor and hustle of life in the city. As always at The Second City, the entirely improvised “3rd Act” is completely free!
